Taishin's bid clearly has governance/related party issues and a significant portion of the "non-Taishin" reps on the Shin Kong Board had issues. October 9th passage is not a done deal.
KKR's "bid" for ASMPT (522 HK) has all the hallmarks of the "approach" by PAG last year. Which came to nought. From a regulatory standpoint, it's unlikely to get up.
Never a dull moment for Korea Zinc (010130 KS). The Choi family makes Offers for KZ and Young Poong Precision (036560 KS) (YPP). Then MBK counters for both.

SOUTHBOUND was a net buyer this week. Over five days, it was +HK$12.5bn on high gross volume, but all of that net buying was on Alibaba Group Holding (9988 HK). 

Alibaba Group Holding (9988 HK) became SOUTHBOUND-eligible on Tuesday, and mainland buyers bought US$2.1bn of BABA shares, more than total SOUTHBOUND net buys.
Gross volumes were highest in months. This was a big week. Even bigger than just BABA. After BABA the story was banks buying.
